Watch Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams' dazzling dunk over Brook Lopez

Ziaire Williams got the start in the Memphis Grizzlies' final preseason game Friday against the Bucks in Milwaukee, and he didn't waste much time making his mark.

The 6-foot-9 third-year Grizzlies forward crossed over Bucks forward Jae Crowder and threw down a one-handed dunk over the outstretched arms of Brook Lopez that would have made even Ja Morant proud. Williams tapped his head on his way back up the floor to indicate that he threw down the dunk over Lopez.

The dunk came with 1:17 left in the second quarter.

Lopez isn't some regular defender. The 7-foot Bucks center led the NBA in total blocks last season (193) and finished in the top three of the NBA Defensive Player of the Year voting, which was won by Jaren Jackson Jr.

Williams continues to make highlight plays as he battles for the Grizzlies' fifth starting spot. He has shot the ball well from 3-point range in his past two games.

Now he has a slam over one of the NBA's premier rim protectors to add to the highlight tape.
